Namibia to host Cameroon in AFCON 2027 qualifier at Botswana National Stadium on November 16
Namibia will face Cameroon in the fourth group-stage match of the AFCON 2027 qualifiers at the Botswana National Stadium on November 16, with Cameroon having beaten Namibia 2-0 in their previous qualifier.
Namibia are led by Collin Benjamin and arrive having suffered a 0-2 loss to Cameroon in their last Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game. The Brave Warriors sit third in the group standings and are currently on a three-match losing run; the preview notes that home advantage is not expected to be a major plus for them. Their recent performance was described as underwhelming, with reports saying they failed to control the tempo and lacked a cutting edge in the final third.
Cameroon, nicknamed the Indomitable Lions, are extending a positive run of form after that 2-0 victory over Namibia. Match coverage indicated the visitors controlled large portions of that game and did not allow many chances to their opponents. The preview also referred to the side as the David Pagou-led team and said they would travel to Botswana with confidence.
Peter Shalulile, aged 33, did not score in the previous meeting and the preview said he will be deployed again as one of Namibia’s strikers and will look to improve his output to give his side a chance. The report framed Shalulile’s lack of a goal in the prior game as having made the task tougher for Namibia.
A 21-year-old was described in the match report as a standout performer for Cameroon in the 2-0 win, creating the most chances (3). Arthur Avom was credited with the most touches (100) in that match and the preview stated he will continue to be one of the main men in the visitors’ midfield.
The article listed the selected squad members for both sides and said all those players were ready to be in action: Ndisiro (GK); Kamberipa, Eib, Katua, Hanamub; Rudath, Shidolo, Petrus, Hotto; Shalulile, Tjiueza Ngapandouetnbu (GK); Tchamadeu, Keben, Kotto, Njoh; Avom; Mbeumo, Nyengue, Yondjo, Aliom; Nsongo.
Broadcast information in the preview named the channels carrying the match: in Nigeria on Canal+ and Sport 1 Afrique; in the USA on beIN SPORTS en Español, fuboTV and beIN SPORTS CONNECT, with the latter three noted as options to view the games live.
Namibia will be seeking a rebound from their recent run of results while Cameroon aim to maintain momentum from their prior win; the two teams meet at the Botswana National Stadium on November 16 in the AFCON 2027 qualifying group stage.
